Motorcycle Diaries

Hello everyone! Today the fall series is coming to a close, but of course, we couldn’t finish this amazing homage to the best season of the year without a bang. First I want to thank all of you for receiving the first series in Geek Q dedicated to a single season with such positivity. I’m delighted to see the amount of positive comments here on the blog and on my social media, and I’m super excited about the new things coming very soon. I also can’t wait to see how you sport and style the items that were featured on the blog, remember you can always find links to the items I’m wearing (or similar) at the end of each post. Feel free to get the same items I do! That’s the idea, to give you a hint as to what I feel is coming strong in the following months and having you put your own touch and personality in the way you style it.

The other day, I met with my blog BFF Kim to go out in an adventure around campus: we were going to find the perfect spot for fall outfit shots. Finding that in the Pacific Northwest is not really that hard, you know. We’re really lucky to have very early and very notorious changes when one season transitions to another, and probably the transition from summer to fall is the most notorious. So anyway, we found this amazing spot in the middle of the street, and if there’s one thing you know about both Kim and I is that we’re not afraid at all to take some risk, so we decided to shoot on the street. That’s right! I mean we took care of each other and let the other person know when a car was approaching, but what we ended up having because of that was an amazing photoshoot with a very urban feel to it. However, what I loved the most about this outing was hanging out with Kim and going for bubble tea right after taking these photos. We had such a great time and really good real-talk like we always do.

Now back to the outfit, here you can see me strutting in a very sporty, edgy look, which is just accentuated by one accessory: the motorcycle jacket. I LOVE faux leather and this jacket is definitely one of my favorite. I kinda love the juxtaposition of the faux leather with the regular cotton (here you can’t appreciate it that well, but the back is completely made out of cotton). This works really well because that makes the jacket super light, perfect for the in-between seasons when you still don’t need such a heavy jacket or coat, but you still want to keep yourself warm. This jacket I got from Zara during my trip to Vancouver a few years ago, and it has lasted for a long time and it’s still in really good shape. Under the jacket, I’m wearing an Italian cashmere striped sweater from J. Crew, and my pair of chambray joggers. For the tennis shoes, I decided to go for my Lacoste sneakers and the final touch on the outfit is given by the Skullcandy headphones which I received as a ship gift for shipping Windows 10 (that’s why they have the Windows logo on them). What do you guys think about it? Notice how even though this looks very urban we still shot in a place with a lot of trees, kind of like the same contrast shown between the leather and the cotton in the jacket. Thank you Kim for these excellent shots, I’m a fan of your photog skills!

That will make it for now, but please feel free to leave your comments down below and let me know what would like to see me cover in the blog. I already have some ideas in mind, but I would love to hear from you what you’re curious about or something that you would like to know how to style. Again thank you all for being such great supporters of my most personal project yet, and for making this dream I once had of becoming a successful blogger feel closer and closer. There’s still a lot to do though and many ways I can improve to get to that point, but I feel that with you on my side I can achieve anything. Remember to be stylish all the time and to let other people hear your voice. See you very soon with more fashion and more style. Till the next!

Okay, first of all- I’ve been a terrible blogger bff and haven’t been commenting enough on your blog. BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU XD. Second, holy shit these photos look EVEN BETTER on the blog than they did on the camera. I love shooting with your lens. You’re such a freaking stud! Our weekly 1:1s really have been such a highlight in my day. I feel super thankful for your friendship and I’m going to miss you SO MUCH while I’m travelling this month. But I’m already anticipating all of our hangouts when I’m back 🙂 Thank goodness I’ll be able to keep up with your adventures via facebook and the blog! Also SUPER EXCITED for next week’s post because you know whyyyyyy 🙂

Of course I know you love me! I don’t have any doubt about it 😀 only we can have so many adventures and so much fun during our 1:1s like we always do. I know right? These photos are bomb, I loved them! And I can’t wait to show the other two sets of pics we’ve shot in the past week (I knooow which one you’re talking about :P). But really, I’m so glad we’ve been able to hang out so much lately because I know that soon we’ll be crazy busy with our traveling and schedules, but exactly! We’ll keep in contact through the blogs and social media and when we see each other again it will be so fun. Thank youuu for being such an amazing friend!! I love you toooo <3!!!
